Constellation™ Systems

Constellation™ Open Wire Systems
Aft Cockpit Radial Steering Systems
The simplest wire system available for aft cockpit yachts with vertical, or near vertical, rudders using a radial quadrant in
conjunction with a cross wire idler, (universal idler if the pedestal is mounted aft of the rudder stock). Dependent on sheave
and quadrant sizes, this equipment can be employed on sailing yachts up to approximately 18m /60ft.
Please note the sheaves are fully articulated to obtain perfect lead from sheave to quadrant. The splay angle is dependent on
the distance from pedestal centre to rudder stock and the quadrant diameter.

▪ Steering shaft supported in triple high efficiency ball bearings, ensuring no
axial and radial play
▪ Cross wire idlers, bevelled & adjustable to ensure perfect cable alignment

▪ High strength Alloy quadrants for maximum reliability and compactness
▪ Range of terminal units, sheaves, bulkhead steerers, quadrants and
accessories
▪ Efficient installation
▪ Multiple pedestals sprocket options, dependent on boat size

▪ Electrostatically applied, polyester coating for maximum protection against
corrosion
▪ Integrated autopilot drive kit for mounting drive units
